I WAS delighted, though not surprised, to learn of the very positive impression of Bolton, as experienced by visitors from Carlisle (Letters, December 8). I was pleased, too, that the dedicated volunteers and staff in Age Concern's cafe were given some of the credit for this.

For those who've not visited us recently, we now offer a completely new menu, with an attractive choice of meals, snacks and drinks. Our emphasis is on providing good value, home cooking in a friendly and welcoming environment. In the run up to Christmas, we're also offering a special season menu.

We look forward to welcoming friends, new and long-standing, to our comfortable cafe.
